| I don't think the Type 3 part will fit your bumper, will it? I think it is the same profile, but I suspect it is longer (wider) and the mounting studs may not line up. |

If memory serves....its pretty close but there are bolt hole difference....I think.
The front bumper of the 411/412 is very similar. Only a trained eye can tell the difference when its installed...or you will know the differences when you go to install one.
The 411/412 front bumper part # is 415 707 103
The front bumper rubber strip part number on the 411/412 is 411 707 201
The rear bumper part # is type 3....there are THREE...and its kind of cryptic in how they lay this out.
The rubber bumper strip for the rear has two part #'s...early and late and one is also type 3 and one is type 4 specific.

They are out there to be found, I recently got my NOS rubbers from a contact in the UK. Sadly, this was their only set.
I will be narrowing my aluminum bumpers to hug the car tighter, and when I do, I might try adapting type 3 rubbers, instead of using the NOS. if so, I'll have mine up for sale
